Countdown to Awakening

Upon hearing this, Xu's mother quickly took some tape to seal her mouth.

Zhuang Meng completely gave up struggling and glared at Old Man Xu and his mother fiercely. Although her mouth was sealed, she could still be heard sobbing and screaming.

Old Man Xu slapped her again. "Why are you yelling? How can you be wronged by marrying me? Men as good as me are rare in this village. In my opinion, you are not worthy of me..."

A man as good as him isn't easy to find anywhere. There aren't many in the village. Why doesn't this girl cherish him? She's screaming and whining, as if she's been wronged...

Zhuang Meng still looked at Old Man Xu fiercely. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in such a mess right now...

Looking at Old Man Xu, Zhuang Meng couldn't stop crying.

After tying Zhuang Meng's hands and feet and sealing her mouth, Old Man Xu and his mother went out.

After closing the door of the cowshed, Old Man Xu still couldn't hold back and wanted to take action against Zhuang Meng right away.

"Mom...I..."

Old man Xu wanted to say something but stopped himself. Looking at Xu's mother's expression, he was a little at a loss.

"Hold it back, she's not your wife yet, you can't think about that. If you think about that, what will the villagers think? Our family will lose face. What will people think? Right? Hold it back. Won't that be a natural thing after we get married? Why rush?"

Zhuang Meng had no other options in the cowshed, so she tried to untie the ropes that bound her. But she couldn't move, let alone untie them.

Bastards, all of them are beasts!

Her tears fell again.

When she thought about spending the rest of her life here and marrying that old man, her heart almost sank.

Early the next morning.

Old Man Xu's mother opened the door of the cowshed.

"Girl, eat something. You didn't eat anything yesterday, so you must be hungry. I added an egg to this bowl of noodles, it's delicious."

Old Man Xu's mother continued, "Girl, as long as you're obedient and give birth to a big, fat boy to carry on our family line, we won't treat you unfairly. As long as you promise to be obedient, I'll untie the ropes on your hands... Okay, girl?"

Zhuang Meng didn't sleep much the whole night and felt uneasy. Now, the dark circles under his eyes have become heavier.

Xu's mother continued, "Girl, you look much more haggard. Just listen to me and eat this noodle. Ah..."

She knew Zhuang Meng didn't want to marry her son, but what else could she do? She couldn't let her son have no descendants. Other people's sons had wives, so did hers have to be without descendants? She could only let the girl down. Her son couldn't have no descendants.

"Girl, you have to know that women follow their husbands wherever they marry. It doesn't matter who you marry. Marrying my son wouldn't be bad either. Just marry my son. I won't let you down. Although my son looks silly, he's honest, reliable, and down-to-earth. How many people would beg for him? Since my family has you, it's fate. Just obey God's will..."

Zhuang Meng stared at Xu's mother as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

"Girl, can I tear off the tape on your mouth and feed you some noodles? Don't starve yourself. If you do, my family won't have the money to buy another woman."
